[caption id="attachment_3240" align="alignleft" width="210" caption="The Object of My Spite"][/caption] Even though the semester is about to end, I'm still annoyed by the outragous prices of the textbooks and the practices of the companies that release them. Everyone that has gone to college knows that books cost a lot. But really, why should they? I bought an art history book for a course I am taking this semester. It's a book that came out almost ten years ago, and yet the price of one copy used was $90, with the new copies costing upwards of $120. The book is soft-cover and has more than half of the pictures in black-and-white; there is no reason the cost of the book should be this high. Another blatant exploitation of students' needs for textbooks is the practice by any type of mathematics textbook of putting out new editions of their book every few years or sometimes every year. Most of the content of these courses hasn't changed in the past hundred years, so why do they keep releasing new editions? The reason is that in each new edition, the exercises are slightly changed or moved around, which forces the students to purchase the new edition to be able to do homework that is assigned in math courses. Math books are also some of the most expensive, and can be up to $200. However, some professors realize that this is done by the textbook companies and allow their poor students to use older editions. I had one such professor this semester. The new edition of the textbook used for my Spanish class went for about $180, and you had to buy a workbook for $30-50 as well. The professor recognized that this was a bit much for his students and permitted them to use older editions of the textbook. I bought the previous edition online for less than $10. That discrepancy in price is jaw-dropping. I believe that more professors should sympathize with their students' frail state of finance and allow them to use older editions as my Spanish professor did. I do recognize that this is the only way that textbook companies can make money, but that makes it no less of a scam that preys on the needs of students who are dependent on their books. You can sometimes find the books online. More often than not the way you find them is through illegal scans of the book, and when it is legal it still costs you a pretty penny. I'm finishing my third year of college right now and still have two more to go. I may need to start using my now old and worthless editions of these books to heat my home. If only I could eat them ... —Jack Betterly Kohn

As we all know our very own Left Coast Writer Chana Wilson has recently put out an amazing new book, Riding Fury Home. Of course it has received many glowing reviews, and we'd like to share some with all of you. Click the titles of the publication for the full review: “As a work of socially relevant art, this memoir is above reproach. As a historical document, it is both lamentation of a shameful past and evidence of how far we've come.” -Elizabeth Kenndedy, SF Chronicle “It quickly becomes clear from the beginning pages of this memoir that although Chana Wilson is a first-time author, she is a masterful storyteller. This book is almost impossible to put down...” -Rachel Pepper, The Bay Area Reporter There are also great reviews in The Advocate, SF Weekly, and Seattle's The Stanger, among others. You can also read more about Chana's book on her website, Facebook page, or buy a copy on Amazon or at a bookstore near you!

I’ve long wanted to visit Crater Lake, but my husband refuses. “It’s hot and dry and endless,” he objects, recalling a boyhood vacation with his parents. So instead I’ve roped our daughter, Emma, into a detour there. Crater Lake will be my reward for driving her back to college instead of putting her on a plane. “Oh, you’ll have so much to talk about! What fun!” people say when I share my plans for a last mother-daughter weekend together. I don’t think so, but I smile my agreement. Who am I to disillusion those lucky enough to have chatty children not plugged into their iPods? At this point I am grateful for a sullen front-seat hostage who will open the flip-tops on my Diet Cokes. I used to dream of long, intimate conversations with Emma. That’s how it was with my mother. She and I had every detail of my wedding mapped out by the time I was eight. I felt her panicked claustrophobia each time she recounted how the nuns locked her in the closet. I told her when I went on the Pill. Later I learned that what I had mistaken for closeness was instead my mother’s need to live through me vicariously. Still, I loved it, and looked forward to the same intimacy with Emma. When it didn’t come, I consoled myself by thinking, “At least she’s not burdened by a mother who needs to live through her vicariously.” Now, instead of talking, we’ll bond by listening to an audio book. I pop in the first disc of Michael Chabon’s Wonder Boys. The narrator intones the dedication to the author’s wife. “She’s an author, too,” I tell Emma. “She got into a ton of trouble by telling an interviewer she loved her husband more than their children.” Why am I mentioning this? Emma cannot possibly understand the intricacies of motherhood, where everything is forced into a choice, and every choice is found wanting. If my husband and daughter were encircled by sharks, I would risk my life to bring her safely to shore, leaving him to fend for himself. This strikes me not as preference, but as the inherent obligation of parenthood. Must love come at someone else’s expense? I am spending this weekend traversing two states just to be with my laconic daughter, even though it will aggravate my sciatica. I pour myself out for Emma, and she yields nothing. Still, I choose her, although the silence between us sometimes breaks my heart. “How long till we get there?” Emma yawns. My loaded conversational gambits go nowhere, but I notice her iPod lies untouched in the backseat. The pine trees are endless. Just as I’m beginning to think my husband was right about Crater Lake, the forest drops away abruptly to reveal its sapphire treasure. Steep ashen slopes plummet into the infinite blue, inducing a delicious vertigo as we pause on the rim. The monotonous pine forest has been part of the set up, like the long, tedious ascent of the roller coaster before its stomach-dropping plunge. I’ve splurged on a night in the beautifully restored historic lodge perched right on the edge of Crater Lake. Emma loves the veranda where guests sip cocktails and take in the view. After stretching our legs, we go to our room, where Emma falls asleep on the voluptuous bed, exhausted from fending off my attempts at conversation. Nap over, we descend to the lodge’s elegant dining room. Emma and I speculate about the provenance of the summer help, all college students with foreign accents. Maybe she’ll work here some day. I don’t press it, though; Emma bristles at any attempt to map out her future. We focus instead on the scrumptious food, sparing no calorie or expense. We sleep well, encased in crisp sheets and downy comforters. At breakfast we gorge on hazelnut pancakes and the berries that make Oregon famous. Although we would like to linger, we leave Crater Lake in the early morning. Sophomore year beckons whether or not we are ready. We listen to Wonder Boys. It’s about half finished by the time we get to Emma’s dorm, so we speculate about what will happen. Does she want me to tell her the ending, or will she finish it herself someday? “You can let me know what happens if you want,” Emma equivocates. We’ve agreed that I will spend the night in her single dorm room to minimize expenses. What a mistake. After a certain age, no one should spend a night in a dormitory unless it’s as a participant in Elderhostel. I have never felt so invisible and out of place. I cannot wait to get on the road the next day, cured of whatever romantic notions remain about mothers living vicariously through their daughters. I finish Wonder Boys during the drive home. It’s about a novelist whose untamed manuscript is a rambling disaster. He’s written five different endings for it, but none can bring it to a satisfactory close. His life is a parallel shambles. My own trajectory is neat, known, almost finished. But Emma’s will still unspool erratically, with any number of characters and plot twists. Should I tell her how the story ends? I think I will let her finish it on her own. In addition to writing, Lorrie Goldin (www.lorriegoldin.com) is a psychotherapist who practices in San Rafael and Berkeley. Several of her commentaries have been broadcast on KQED's Perspectives, and her work has appeared in various publications.

LEFT COAST WRITERS LITERARY SALON: William C. Gordon, Author of King of the Bottom [caption id="attachment_3214" align="alignleft" width="150" caption="William C. Gordon"][/caption] Monday, May 7, 7pm Book Passage || Corte Madera 51 Tamal Vista Drive || www.bookpassage.com Maybe some of you remember celebrating wildly that night at Book Passage with Willie Gordon and Isabel Allende earlier this year when The Chinese Jars came out. It was definitely a night to remember. Well, one of our heroes (he's been a huge supporter of our Left Coast Writers) is at it again. William C. Gordon has a new book out: King of the Bottom. Oddly, it's been a long haul getting books out in English, even for this internationally famous author, so we're sure he has a revealing story to tell about writing and publishing books. He also has some fascinating fiction in his arsenal. In The Chinese Jars, Gordon takes readers to 1960s San Francisco. The story follows Samuel Hamilton, who is a successful ad salesman for a local newspaper. Donning the role of investigator, Hamilton examines the bizarre death of a local millionaire. Hamilton eventually uncovers a set of clues that lead him through the mystical world of Chinese art and antiquities. In King of the Bottom Hamilton returns, this time to work with Janak Marachak, a formidable attorney whose clients are implicated in a case involving industrial chemicals, illegal immigrants, and murder. It's noir and just bizarre enough to satisfy even jaded literary palates. Definitely our top choice for an energetic summer read that spotlights our beloved Bay Area! William C. Gordon grew up in the beautiful landscapes of the old West. His father died when he was six, leaving his family to shift for themselves in tough times. Gordon attended UC Berkeley and, after a military stint, earned a law degree from Hastings College of Law. He eventually retired from the legal profession and, his passion for writing rekindled by his long romantic alliance with internationally famous author, Isabel Allende, he refocused his attention on the page and began writing a series of novels that were first published abroad. Four of his books will be published in English and Spanish in pocketbook editions this year and next. His fifth Samuel Hamilton mystery, The Halls of Power, is due out in 2013.

Another book on parenting... wait, no, grandparenting? This new collection of essays from and about grandparents gives an interesting new perspective to the art of being a grandparent. Informative and interesting, Wondrous Child: The Joys and Challenges of Grandparenting provides stories with insightful advice on everything grandparent-related.

"This often surprising collection of essays explores the complex role of grandparents in today's world of step-grandparents, ex-spouses, gay grandparents, racial issues and what one writer calls bridging "geographical and emotional distances." Though there's a vast array of experiences in these touching essays, common threads run through them: the fierce and overwhelming love we feel for our grandchildren, how we end up learning from them, and how very complicated the emotional bonds of three generations can be. As a besotted grandmother myself, I highly recommend this book." —Barbara Abercrombie, author of A Year of Writing Dangerously and editor of CHERISHED: 21 Writers on Animals They've Loved and Lost The editor of this insightful new collection, Lindy Hough, will be joining us for this reading. Lindy Hough is the author of five books of poetry and non-fiction, including Nuclear Strategy and the Code of the Warrior: Faces of Mars and Shiva in the Crisis of Human Survival, a collection of anti-nuclear pieces, and the upcoming Wondrous Child: The Joys and Challenges of Grandparenting. She cofounded Berkeley’s North Atlantic Books in the mid-seventies, and was Publisher and Editorial Director for many years. She lives in Berkeley, California.

LEFT COAST WRITERS BOOK LAUNCH: Synchronicity: The Art of Coincidence, Choice, and Unlocking Your Mind with Kirby Surprise [caption id="attachment_3149" align="alignleft" width="188" caption="Dr. Kirby Surprise"][/caption] Saturday, May 12, 2012 || 7pm Book Passage-Corte Madera|| 51 Tamal Vista Dr. Corte Madera || www.bookpassage.com Wondering how to make things happen? Kirby Surprise has written a fascinating new book, Synchronicity: The Art of Coincidence, Choice, and Unlocking Your Mind, about the way individuals perceive reality and the science behind it. He writes about meaningful synchronistic experiences and how an individual can actually influence their happening. The experience of meaningful coincidences is universal. They are reported by people of every culture, every belief system, and every time period. Synchronicity examines the evidence for the human influence on the meaningfulness of events, and the way the modern computational model of the mind predicts how we create meaning. Synchronicity will show you how you already create events around you, and will make you a conscious co-creator of your reality. Dr. Surprise describes the miracles of your brain’s processes, merging the worlds of modern physics and ancient mysticism to reveal abilities you have always possessed, but were not fully understood—until now. "Synchronicity is teeming with delightful and often compelling surprises about the nature of meaningful coincidences in contemporary life. The author's prose is playful, provocative, and profound. Though you may not agree with all of Professor Surprise's conclusions, this book should be required reading for anyone wanting to understand the magnificence and mystery of synchronicity." —Gary E. Schwartz, PhD, professor of psychology and medicine, The University of Arizona, and author of The Sacred Promise Dr. Kirby Surprise received his doctorate in counseling psychology from the Institute for Integral Studies. He works in an advanced outpatient program for the State of California where he assesses, diagnoses, and treats clients with psychotic and delusional disorders.

LEFT COAST WRITERS BOOK PARTY: Left Coast Poets National Poetry Month Event [caption id="attachment_3072" align="alignleft" width="150" caption="Bernie Clark"][/caption] [caption id="attachment_3101" align="alignleft" width="150" caption="Adrienne Amundsen"][/caption] Monday, April 9th, 6pm Book Passage || Ferry Plaza San Francisco || www.bookpassage.com National Poetry Month was created in 1996 by the Academy of American Poets and is a celebration of poetry and its importance in American culture and history. It is celebrated writers, poetry lovers, publishers and booksellers across the country through workshops, readings and various other events. We'll be celebrating with a reading by various Left Coast Writers®: Bernie Clark, Adrienne Amundsen and others. GooGooG’Joob is an eclectic collection of poems and short stories created by author Bernie Clark over a span of twenty-five years. From witty ditties to lament on war, there is something for everyone in here: poems for the old, for the young and poems for those in the middle of their life journey. The closing section of the book is an explorative essay about Spirit versus Ego and how one might apply the tenets of Love, Art, Wonder and Joy and endeavor to Seek Grace. Bernie is a Brit in his fifties who has lived in the USA since 1983. He attributes the ‘can do’ spirit and encouragement offered by Americans as the reasons that he persevered with writing poetry and short stories. Influenced and somewhat mentored by the late poet William Talcott, he was a frequent reader in the San Francisco café scene in the nineties, co-hosting the Sacred Grounds poetry evenings for two years. Now, as an Alameda resident and with the release of GooGooG’Joob, he is planning to be more active in the Bay Area poetry scene. Bernie has also published a children’s picture book, David Oodle’s Doodle, illustrated by Kevin Plottner. When he’s not writing or working in IT, Bernie finds joy in photography, travel, painting, feeding his ‘resident’ hummingbirds and a relaxing round of golf. Adrienne Amundsen is a psychologist living in Northern California. Her interests have taken her from mountainous mustang terrain and the caves of France to the war zone in Afghanistan. She has taught classes in shamanism and cave art locally and internationally. Her poetry has been featured in a number of literary magazines, and she recently published a poetry collection, Cassandras Falling.

LEFT COAST WRITERS BOOK LAUNCH: Riding Fury Home: A Memoir with Chana Wilson [caption id="attachment_2826" align="alignleft" width="150" caption="Chana Wilson"][/caption] Saturday, April 14 , 2012 || 7pm Book Passage-Corte Madera || 51 Tamal Vista Dr. Corte Madera || www.bookpassage.com We're delighted to host the debut of Chana Wilson's new memoir, Riding Fury Home: A Memoir. Riding Fury Home is Chana's new book about her tenuous relationship with her mother. Chana's mom was sent to a mental institution when Chana was a young girl and treated for her lesbianism, which they attempted to "cure." Her dramatic new memoir traces her life from her youth to the women's movement in 1970s and beyond. Riding Fury Home received a starred review from Publishers Weekly: "From the horrors of her childhood in 1950s New Jersey to the liberating discovering of her sexual identity decades later, psychotherapist Wilson's memoir is as heartbreaking as it is uplifting. During Wilson's childhood, her mother--after attempting suicide (the gun jammed)--was shuttled in and out of mental institutions, subjected to electroshock treatments, and addicted to various pills that severely impaired her ability to parent. When Wilson's father leaves the family for England, young Wilson is forced to watch over her mother, making sure she does not overdose or attempt to kill herself again. From a young age, Wilson repeats a mantra: "I am so strong. I can get through anything;" her resilience pays off and, as an adult, Wilson's therapist comments on her "limitless ability for suffering." Exhausted by having to care for her mother, Wilson eventually flees home for college in Iowa. Now with the freedom to explore her own identity--through anti-Vietnam protests and 1960s counterculture--Wilson embarks on a journey that ultimately brings her closer to her mother. After coming out as a lesbian, Wilson learns her mother is also gay, and that her depression was fueled by her love affair with a woman that was "forbidden and punished" by the repressive society of the 1950s. Through sharing her personal tale of forgiveness and unconditional love, Wilson breaks the silence on the trauma of oppression and the ecstasy of self-acceptance." http://www.publishersweekly.com/978-1-58005-432-4 —Publishers Weekly "Chana Wilson has done a wonderful thing—putting on the page so much grief, fear, and stubborn awe-inspiring endurance. We rarely look closely at complicated relationships like the one she had with her mother, and even more rarely look at how they change over time. This is not heroes and villains, but a layered, intimate exchange in which it seems the child is never quite allowed to be a child—and yet still manages to hang onto a carefully constructed loving closeness.” —Dorothy Allison, author of Bastard Out of Carolina Chana Wilson is a psychotherapist and a former radio producer and television engineer. She began her career in broadcast journalism as a radio programmer with KPFA in Berkeley,CA. For six years, she was host of "A World Wind," a weekly music show that included interviews with musicians, poets, and writers. Her essays and memoir excerpts have appeared in the print journals The Sun and Sinister Wisdom, online at Roadwork and Aunt Lute, and in several anthologies. Please spread the word!
